Jan 9 2006Adrien Brody Wants To Wear More Makeup
Following rumors that Josh Lucas is up for the role of Harvey Dent in the next Batman film, a sequel to Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins, Adrien Brody has thrown his hat into the ring for the role of The Joker. As reported on Moviehole
Brody tells USA Today that he loved Batman Begins and hopes to be considered for the role of the jovial assassin in the next chapter.
"I would love to play The Joker. I think he would be deformed and creepier."
Brody later elaborated that his joker would be "deformed and creepier" not because of his interpretation of the psychopathic character, but because he's actually deformed and creepy.

A quadraplegic fluffy squirrel with AIDS would have a better chance against Batman than Adrien Brody. Unless they create a new arch-nemesis for Batman called "The Emasculator" who cries and pouts until Batman is overcome with nausea and vomits himself to near death. Adrien would be perfect for that role.

My vote for the Joker is Michael Keaton. How ironic. Because he played the original Batman. Although, he already sort of played that role in Beetlejuice.
Or, you could go with Sean Penn, the most humorless actor in Hollywood. Could he play a grinning, jolly psychopath? Maybe. Would take balls to cast either of them.

I don't care about the casting right now. Who is writing, and who is directing? Batman Begins was too damn good for the sequel to be Return To Gayville.
